[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all replies yet but you said "A bad grade on a test" meaning just ONE bad grade. And that warrants punishment? Personally I'd let one bad grade go as long as it didn't become a pattern. But if it's important for your DH to do something now, why not gently inquire what happened if this is not the norm for them. Maybe they had a bad day. Or found the material for this one test a little difficult. Let them know an occasional bad grade is not the end of the world, but make sure they recognize when they need additional help and the best way for them to proceed when they need it - whether it's help from mom and dad, going to academic support at school, or a tutor. My kid would be a wreck if I were looking at every single grade he makes, scrutinizing, criticizing and punishing. We tell him as long as he makes his best effort, the grade doesn't matter. [/quote]
